"A LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD US" How many of the students of the University who have literary ambitions resort to communication with the spirits for their ideas? Certainly spiritualistic inspiration would be appreciated by many of them according to prominent literary apostases of spiritualism, it is not impossible. Winston Churchill, one of the most popular of American fiction writers, is a recent convert of spiritualism who maintains that parts of the novel on which he is engaged are sent to him by spirits. Maurice Maercker, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Basil King, the Canadian novelist, Sir Oliver Lodge, one of the greatest scientists of the day, are prominent men who have recently been engaged in communication with those who have passed into another world The exceptional interest which is being shown in spiritualism at the present time is believed to be a result of the war in which ten million men los their lives. The resolution by the German Officers' Society that Field Marshall Von Hindenburg and Ludendorff not be brought to trial for alleged war crimes, should receive careful consideration from the Allies, inasmuch as both Von Hindenburg and Lindenhorf joined in signing the resolution. THE GOOD OLD DAYS "K. U, isn't what it used to be in the good old days?" said a graduate of 1917 who visited on the Hill a few hours one day this week. His friend, a former classmate who had returned after two years of absence to finish his work, agreed heartily with the statement. The graduates then went on to ten of the spirit which existed in his day. A half dozen enthusiasts crying, "Hally, Rally," could in a few minutes draw together a big crowd of students eager for bon fire tactics according to his version of former days. In general, he indicated, "them were the good old days" when the K. U. spirit was running loose and ready for display on all occasion. The criticism is a common one. But it indicates a change in the mind of the former student rather than a change in the characteristic of the students. It is to a minor degree the criticism of age to youth. With the maturing of the mind of the graduate, he has午卧 aside his taste for the pleasures which attracted him as a student But because he did enjoy them so heartily in the past he recalls these pleasures with the added emphasis that has been given them by the lapse of a few years. He remembers a football rally preceding the Missouri name for instance as representative of the K. U. spirit throughout the football season. He magnifies a dozen yelling enthusiasts into a rally including a majority of the students. A few owl heads, back for serious work after one or two years absence caused by the World War, and the general tendency towards conservation may have slowed the pace at the university a trifle since the days of the graduate but the life is much the same and a few years from now the present students will be heard to remark about "the good old days." The flu is blamed for everything these days including the missing five pounds on the weight of the average University man this year as compared with the normal. Might not the deficiency be more logically laid at the door of high prices of beefsteak and hamburger? BAINBRIDGE COLBY The man who nominated Theodore Roosevelt for president of the United States on the Progressive ticket in 1916, has been appointed, by President Wilson, as the secretary of state. The appointment of this polished lawyer and man of letters to the right-hand position of the chief executive came as a great surprise to the country. It is evident, from the history of Mr. Colby, that Mr. Wilson could not have picked a more able man, Mr. Colby is said to be a liberal in domestic and foreign affairs, and may be expected to agree with the President on his international idealism. He has been a backer of the Democratic party since 1916, when he deserted Roosevelt and the Republicans, who were then supporting Hughes for the presidential chair. The admiration of Mr. Colby for the President is said to be great. Regarding him as the true independent and the logical upholder of the Bull Moose principals of 1912, Mr. Colby has worked hard for the administration for the last two years, as a member of the United States shipping board. With the appointment of Colby, harmoney can be expected for the reeminder of Wilson's administration. The rich San Francisco clubman who is being sued by a pretty chambermaid for $10,000 for a stolen kiss might compromise by marrying her. MAY BE THE REASON A questionnaire was recently sent out by the Department of Agriculture to Northwestern and Western farmers with a view of finding out what are the biggest problems of the farmer. The biggest problem among those answering was divided as follows: Labor, 682; improved farm-practice, 673; marketing, 309; better organization, 55; financial assistance, 21; roads 14; schools, 1. With only one of these farmers was the school a "higgest problem." It may not be many months before he moves to the school to educate his children and then by unanimous decision the school no longer represents a big problem in the district wherein these farmers live. Is it any wonder that the rural school teacher is underpaid when the farm laborer outranks him in importance by the ratio of 682 to 17. With farm labor at the premium indicated it becomes easier to understand why the rural child it kept out of school when ever the weather permits farm labor, and why the schools are on a seven month basis. The labor problem on the farm is serious but no more so than the school problem. The farmer must learn that he owes more to his children of school age than he owes to himself and provide for them a better system of education than that which now prevails. The answer to this questionaire indicate, not that the schools are no longer a problem, but that they are not recognized as a problem. "Look out boys, the girls are coming. This is the day of women." Those words were the keynote of an address delivered before the newly organized Gamma Alpha Chi. Phi, educating sorority members, there is no organization at K. U, but fourteen women are taking the course in advertising. Dry Verse Kansas, February 20. THIS C. E.

To the Editor of the Daily Kansas: Many of us on the Hill seem to show a considerable lack of consideration. It is true that Spring makes us feel childlike and kittish and at present the library seems to be the place most effected. But to the continuous running around of some few—him to her and her to him—the love, floor is far from a pleasant place study. Mid week dates are well and good but few of us to the library to study on an evening would be highly satisfied if these little expeditions could be gotten under way in a quietanner. (Signed) On Other Hills Doesn't this remind you of the old days: The Juniors paid a nite visit to the High School Sunday and distributed paint on the sidewalks and roof and also hung some cheese cloth on the flag pole. It must have taken considerable bravery on the part of the Juniors to do this. —Junction City Blue and White.
